Disclosed is an image forming system in which a PDL controller develops a raster image from entered PDL image data and sends a number Pr of items of prepared raster image data to a copier together with the raster image data and the number of copies of images to be formed. On the basis of the raster image data received, the copier forms images on recording paper, with the number of images being equivalent to the number of copies to be formed. The copier compares a number Pf of sheets of recording paper supplied to an image forming unit with the number Pr at a predetermined timing. If Pr > Pf holds true, then the copier supplies a new sheet of recording paper to continue a continuous printing operation. Otherwise, the copier halts the supply of recording paper, stops the continuous printing operation and so notifies the PDL controller. <IMAGE> |
